BB TestAssistant is...

a powerful and easy to use software testing tool that allows testers to make accurate reports of complex defects easily, and puts more information at the fingertips of developers.

Its sophisticated screen recording technology records your PC screen as you test.
When you hit a defect, everything leading up to it is recorded on video, giving developers a complete picture of what was happening at the time of failure, including keystrokes, computer configuration and the application under test. Use it to test Windows applications, websites or legacy applications.

The software test tool integrates with Jira and Trac systems
It collects and displays logging from the application under test as well as the Windows operating system, providing comprehensive data to view alongside the video.

BB TestAssistant is quick and easy to set up
It requires no programming, and is the only visual software testing tool you'll ever need for most software testing scenarios.

The Software Test Tool For Visual Testing

BB TestAssistant records video, sound, webcam, keystrokes and mouse position to make a movie that's easy to view and distribute.

Simplified Communication For Accurate Software Testing

BB TestAssistant works with project tracking systems to make bug reporting as simple as '˜Show-and-Tell' - allowing the developer to see exactly what the tester actually did.

Designed specifically for software testing, BB TestAssistant records video, sound, webcam, keystrokes and mouse position to make a movie that's easy to view and distribute.

BB TestAssistant is designed to work in conjunction with modern software test methodologies and heuristics - and it does so without impacting the performance of applications under test.

In addition, BB TestAssistant can also capture log information generated by your own software and include it with the movie, giving a permanent record of all events - even errors that might not appear through the UI.

Using BB TestAssistant eliminates the need for testers to remember exactly what they did before they hit a bug, so they can concentrate on performing the tests in a more informal, creative way.

Key Features:

Event log: The Windows event log, external log files, key presses and mouse clicks are viewed side-by-side with the movie to show the status at any instant in time.

QA system integration: BB TestAssistant integrates fully with current industry-standard QA systems such as JIRA and Bugzilla. The integration API is open, so it's easy to add support for a preferred QA system as well.

Record everything: Everything the tester sees on their screen will be recorded by BB TestAssistant, even complex Windows Aero animations.

Editing: Once the video has been recorded, you can edit it from within BB TestAssistant to include annotations and audio commentary (which can also be supplied in real-time). You also have access to other video editing options such as clipping, cropping and quality adjustment.

Skip to edits: Each edit made by the tester acts as an anchor within the video that the developer can choose to skip to. This is particularly useful in long videos, or where the developer knows exactly which part he's looking for.

Projects: This UI feature allows users to define projects. A project holds common configuration settings related to a single application or set of applications which a tester is working with.

Remove Inactive Periods: This feature allows the user to identify and remove periods of inactivity within a movie.

Hide Other Processes: This security / data protection feature allows the user to restrict BB TestAssistant to record only a specific set of processes.

Export to Word: This feature allows a user to mark important points in a movie and add notes, then automatically produce a Word document containing screenshots of all these points, together with the notes.
